Hello dance family!
I miss all dancing with everyone and hope you’re all doing well!
Tashina Beckmann King and Cameo McHenry have created a special platform called “Community Connect” that focuses on the social aspects of West Coast Swing that many of us miss the most! This is unlike any of the other platforms I’ve seen, since it allows people to move into and out of virtual tables in the ballroom with different topics, so you can choose how you spend your time connecting with others, dancing, playing games, learning, etc. Check out this sneak peak:
https://vimeo.com/463165438
Community Connects are happening 2x/month starting Saturday 11-12:30pm (plus a bonus Halloween Connect).
GPSDC and Phoenix dancers can use this special link they created for us for 20% off to anyone who signs up for the Monthly or 3-Month “All-In” registration tier (valid until the first Connect this Saturday, the 3rd):
https://www.ourdance.global/p/community-connect?coupon_code=phoenix
Here’s their Facebook live announcement of what we can expect.
I hope to see your beautiful faces (via we**am)! I miss your beautiful faces, smiles, and our fun dances!

You do not have to be present to win! We have had winners from CA, CO, TX, FL, MO, NH, CT, NC, VA etc.
Here's how it works: You make your donation, and then Dori Eden will PM you to see how you want her to spread out your raffle tickets.
We need to put an end to breast cancer! We need more treatments. Awareness about early detection is essential and American Cancer Society is doing wonderful things to help fight this disease! One in every 8 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime. I never thought I'd hear those words, but I did. I am lucky that I caught it early and I am healthy now.
Dancers can make a difference!

This beautiful lady and beautiful dancer taught for us tonight. Everyone enjoyed the lesson and dancing with Caroline afterward. We are so happy you have a drivers license and a car now so you can come dance with us.
Looking for volunteer to help with our FB advertising. We are a nonprofit so no pay. But you would have the opportunity to come each Friday and learn to dance!! We will consider anyone over 16 years old. Do you like to make videos, take photos, be creative? A great opportunity for practice for those looking to go into the field in the future.

We've had a sad week for the dance world. Last week we lost Arlie Kuykendall
In the dance world many cross our paths. Once in awhile we are left with a lasting imprint on our heart. For those whose dance experience was touched by Arlie, you understand his dance legacy. Even though his health prevented him from enjoying his passion, he never let his passion for dance die. You are missed. RIP
This afternoon, surrounded by so much love, Don passed away while listening to some of his favorite dance music. I want to thank all of you for reaching out to him with your heartfelt messages, texts, flowers and more. You made him very happy... At one point a couple of days ago, he looked up and said "There's a lot of love in this room" and he was right... Please understand if I am unable to write more at this time...my heart is very, very broken. I will be letting everyone know of future memorial plans.
Rest in Gods arms my brave and sweet friend...till we dance again.
Jeannie (For Don Bennett)

We would like to thank Butch Viola for his years of service to the GPSDC as Music Director
Butch has been a member of the club for many years, and was inducted into our Hall of Fame in 2019 for his exemplary service to the GPSDC. Butch became our music director 6 years ago. Since then we have been able to enjoy the tunes he has provided for our dancing pleasure. As music director he has been at the GPSDC dances every week with his own equipment to DJ and oversee the other DJs.
Butch has also set up the sound system at the Phoenix 4th of July and other conventions.
Butch has chosen to step down for a while, and we want to thank him for his service and loyalty to the club. We will miss him and hope he will come back from time to time to DJ for us again.
